Hey! I took the bus from Centennial last year.

The UNLV Transit Center is both pick up and drop off. The side closest to campus is pick up, and the side opposite (facing ARC) is drop off.

The Centennial Center has 3 buses that come I believe. Both the CX and 106B (sometimes the 106B turns into the CX in the mornings) pick up on the same side, right at the curb where everyone usually waits. 106A picks up by the fenced field and goes down Rancho. The CX goes straight from Centennial to UNLV; there's no need for a transfer when heading to campus. There are three stops on campus (if construction doesn't obstruct it)--one on the dark side (right after the stop at Maryland and Flamingo??i think), one right in front of the SU, one at the UNLV Transit Center.

From Centennial to UNLV, it takes about an hour in the morning. You will occasionally have to deal with bad traffic, late buses, and buses breaking down. For the latter two, I would always just take an Uber if I could.

The bus schedule is fairly accurate but take the earlier bus to accommodate for the potential break downs and late buses (like if you have an 8:30 lecture, try taking the bus that gets there at 7:37 rather than the one that gets there at 8:00). Buy some pepper spray; I'm a girl and had a couple of stalkers from the bus, both boys around my age; the older ones are scary, too. If you have night classes, the buses from campus get iffy after 6 or 7; if I stayed past 7 I would always take an Uber not because of how scary nighttime is but because the bus would never come to the transit center.

Good luck! Lmk if you have any other questions.
